Chapter 21

'Not at all,' the guy waved it off and began to finish his remaining slice of pizza.

It was now a dark night outside. The only dim light in the house was in the living room. The guys were vigorously discussing some movie that was on TV at the moment. Rising from the chair, I began to climb to the second floor, carefully stepping on each step, because it was rather dark here and one awkward movement could have a disastrous effect.

My hand rested on the cool iron handle, I pressed it harder and the door to my room opened. I almost screamed, having only managed to open my mouth when I saw that someone was sitting in the chair. The dark silhouette sat facing the exit, his arms were placed on both armrests to the sides, and his posture was extended and even, making him much more even in a sitting position.
